FMD - The Age online sinks to new advertising depths

[WarmerBeer]

Have always been a avid Herald Scum avoider, preferring the "Independent Always" alternative.

Looks like they, too, have started plumbing the depths of "pay for the front page"

Relax, it's not from a Murdoch Cancer media outlet, if you watch to the end of the clip you will see that it is Fairfax Media. So all good.

I'm going to go out and buy one tomorrow if I can mortgage the cat.

If you grew that cat up from it's airlock infancy, your under valuing the poor blighter.

"...the device has achieved $4.5 million worth of sales in New Zealand and has an impressive pedigree."

That's only because they have sold 5 of them!

Just picked one up on TVSN - only 50 bucks a week for the rest of my life!
Pretty sure I won't regret that purchase in the morning.

An intellectual poison in our society. Every media that advertises has ad blocking mechanics being designed for them.

Ads: They are distracting and stupid. To accept them means we have to live guided by their influence, constantly filtering them with our precious cognitive capacity, or desensitise - numbing ourselves to our environment, like we would with permanent pain.

I want none of those and choose to avoid or block ads.

agree, digital advertising was bad in the beginning, now its beyond a joke, i cant even read an article without unwanted videos starting, popups inbetween the text im reading, and generally what i would say is over 60% of the page coverage in static ads, its at the point now where i dont bother reading the article because of the intrusive ads, so they lose out again.

id kill for a good ad blocker.

I use Adblock Plus, Disconnect and Flashcontrol and still have issues with too many ads.

Lots of sites/pages can now detect when you're using some kind of ad blocker and will hide their content until the blocker has been disabled.

I sure as hell hope I was joking! :unsure:

It always seems to be 'that guy' or 'a home brewer' that beat 45 of the worlds best brewery's.

What's he's name, where is he from, what did he brew?
